Vagabond

Vagabond I enter parks with such aplomb A bench to sit and lay at night With limpid dreams I share with naught A footloose prince with worn out shoes What prompts a man to live on scraps To brave the heat and cold as well Traveling slow for parts unknown Nomadic on the open road As Marco Polo I am bound To discover humankind Seeking knowledge ‘fore I leave And utilize it in my brain The day will come I’m not too sure To change my choice and then convert Until that day this Gypsy moves And begs a sandwich on his tour Traveling Light Contest Sponsored by Kai Michael Neumann September 23, 2017

I like what you did with the theme. Mine is on Vagabond too but from the viewpoint of the one he leaves behind! (by the way, to make her list, you need to use four words in your title, to include your chosen word. I THINK so anyway) Maybe this could be: A Vagabond am I.
